Description: | Select Guide Rating Fearing for his child''s health, Titus Cragg takes his family to Accrington, but the town isn''t as quiet as hoped. A woman dies from ''riding the stang'' then the wife of a notoriously irascible squire seeks refuge with him. When she suddenly disappears, secrets about the lives of those within the town begin to appear, throwing people into disharmony. It''s the sweltering summer of 1744 and when an epidemic disease threatens the town, coroner Titus Cragg retires with his wife and baby son to a remote village in East Lancashire, where he hopes his family will enjoy the healthy and tranquil air. But Cragg finds the rural atmosphere anything but peaceful when he''s called upon to investigate the horrific death of a local woman who has fallen victim to a cruel community punishment. |
